FAQ's

What is PatientPartner?

PatientPartner is a patient-connection platform that matches new patients considering a medical procedure with a relatable patient who has previously experienced the same procedure (a PatientPartner Mentor). This personalized approach helps educate and empower new patients with the information and support they need to make more informed healthcare decisions.

How much time is required to be a PatientPartner Mentor?

As much time as you are willing to dedicate! As a PatientPartner Mentor, you have the freedom to accept or pass any connection request. The commitment for each accepted connection is simply messaging back and forth on our platform or a phone call through our platform. On average, current mentors say they spend between 1-3 hours a week providing support to patients.

How do PatientPartner Mentors communicate with patients?

All communication happens within your PatientPartner account where you can text message and have a phone call. Your personal contact details are never shared.

Are there guidelines for what I can and cannot say to a patient?

Our goal is to create a safe space where patients can have authentic connections and ask personal questions. While we do not provide scripts or strict guidelines, we ask that mentors focus on their personal experience and do not provide medical or insurance advice.

Who can I talk to if I have more questions about becoming a PatientPartner Mentor?
